    New Wreck-It Ralph Trailer Retains 8-Bit Charm

    Not the same "Wow!" factor as the first trailer if I'm being totally honest and a sense we've just seen the finish film compressed in two minutes. But those minor quibbles aside; Disney's Wreck-It Ralph still looks like a winner.

    Here's the new trailer, via Yahoo! Movies:

    Star Trek Sequel Title Headed "Into Darkness"

    Fitting this news-item leaked on the 46th anniversary of the landmark, original series. Coming Soon knows the title for J.J. Abrams' Star Trek sequel:

    Star Trek Into Darkness.

    Heard worse titles, then again also heard better. Remember the freak out heard round the Internet when The Phantom Menace was announced as the title for Episode I? Too soon to get worked up over an admittedly crummy, sounding title. Most still want to know if Abrams will reduce himself to re-implementing Khan into the mix and when we'll get our first glimpse at footage.

    New Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 Trailer

    The dough they spent to secure Kristin Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, couldn't Lionsgate/Summit afforded better visual effects?

    Bella Swan flying like she's from Krypton and taking down a mountain lion is asking for ridicule. Guess it's like the snotty assholes reacting to the RNC then creaming themselves during the DNC. Their minds were long made-up. Why bother pretending there's objectivity in play? You're fooling no one and come off like an asshole.

    Eh, here's the new The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 premiering last night during the MTV Video Music Awards, and yes MTV's embeds suck:

    There Goes Tobey's Piece of Pi

    If Tobey Maguire was deemed "too famous" for Life of Pi, why bother casting him in the first place?

    His days hanging on a wire-harness in front of a blue-screen for hours on end, and Sam Raimi torturing him, are over. He's amassed a fortune from the web-slinger to return to his character-actor days. What was intended to be one of those roles, a supporting turn as author Yann Martel in Ang Lee's 3D awards-contender, got the editorial axe. The part remains intact, reshot with Rafe Spall (one of the early victims in Prometheus).

    Fear not for Tobey. The Great Gatsby is on the horizons, whenever Warner Brothers releases it, at least.

    Skyfall Isn't the End of Daniel Craig's 007

    It usually takes a year or two before a new decade finds its identity. Three years in, the remnants of what we remember the 2000s have indeed become a thing of yester-decade. The Batman we've come to know and love just ended. A new Spider-Man reared his head to indifference. A guy pretending to be Jason Bourne minus the name or humanity (Mm, mm, Chems!), three Hulks in nine years and a new Superman whose fate remains to-be-determined following his predecessor seven years prior.

    Thankfully, the king of all franchises will stay the same in the foreseeable future. MI6 reports Daniel Craig is staying put as James Bond for two more films.

    If all the kinks are worked out (Sony wants another ASAP, Eon wants to take their sweet-time), the next installment, following the upcoming Skyfall, should reach cinemas late 2014. Long as Craig keeps his A-game going, everyone should be happy. Great as it holds up, Casino Royale wouldn't have been the same without him. Thank God, the Broccolis and Martin Campbell took a chance.

    New Cloud Atlas Trailer

    Warner Brothers has released a new trailer for Cloud Atlas, the directorial collaboration between Tom Tykwer and Andy & Lana Wachowski based on the David Mitchell novel.

    It's nothing more than a condensed (i.e. more assessable) version of the wonderful 6-minute trailer from July. This is fine and still offers glorious visuals.

    See Chris Pine as Jack Ryan Driving the Speed-Limit!

    Way to put an effort to showcase the first-look of the once-and-future James Tiberius Kirk as Jack Ryan (Also the awful title of Kenneth Branagh's Tom Clancy reboot), Paramount.

    Couldn't he have been holding a gun and beating up some baddie?

    First Looper Promo Clip – Bruce Willis Chats with Himself (Kinda)

    Highlight from Looper trailers involved Bruce Willis having a sit-down chat with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, playing Bruce Willis.

    It takes a few minutes to adjust the eyes, and ears, to Levitt, an actor with the incredible versatility to play Cobra Commander, the new Batman and Bruce Willis. Rian Johnson's time-travel actioner opens in a few weeks and Yahoo! Movies has the afore-mentioned diner sequence:

    The Avengers Headed Back to Theaters This Holiday Weekend

    Making gazillions of dollars, and arguably stealing The Dark Knight Rises' thunder (To be fair, in a perfect world where dickless, fucktard coward James Holmes was never born, the grosses would have been a lot closer still with Earth's Mightiest Heroes winning) wasn't enough for The Avengers.

    As we approach Labor Day weekend, a typically slow time at the box-office, Disney/Marvel is putting The Avengers back in theaters. So if you haven't seen it enough already or, like me saw it once, liked it but remembered "Everything & the Kitchen Sink" filmmaking is not a good thing, here's your chance to help Joss Whedon dethrone Titanic.

    Maybe they'll use this as an opportunity to premiere Iron Man 3 footage?

    New Pacific Rim Pictures Beg the Question, "Where is the Damn Trailer?"

    Pacific Rim went over like gangbusters at Comic-Con.

    That doesn't mean a thing to its bottom line. Taking a geek-friendly concept (futuristic epic where humans use giant-sized robots called Jaegers to fend off a monster invasion) from a geek-favorite director, the great Guillermo del Toro, to a big geek event is preaching to the choir. Putting out a trailer, and showing off some of that machinery-v-monsters footage could turn the tide.

    Warner Brothers/Legendary Pictures haven't done it yet. Instead we have brand spanking new photos in the latest issue of Empire, courtesy of Coming Soon:
